CLEVELAND
Township, organized in 1858, was named for the city of
Cleveland, Ohio, several of the first settlers here, in
1855-56, having come from that state. The
CLEVELAND
city, in sections 15, 16, 21, and 22, founded and thus named in 1857,
was the county seat during one year, 1875-76, being succeeded by Le
Sueur Center. It was organized on June 24, 1858, and incorporated as a
village on March 9, 1904; its post office was first called
Grandville, 1856-57, then changed to Cleveland. It had a
station of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad. In
Ohio this name refers to Gen. Moses Cleaveland
(1754-1806), agent of the Connecticut company that colonized the Western
Reserve, under whose direction the site of the city named in his honor
was surveyed in 1796.
